I agree on that one.

"I believe I ran into Bo and fell backwards on my butt. He being the gentleman he was offered me a hand up but you came in shouting at him for pushing me over and before he could explain what happened some senior Jock came up and started picking on me so both you and Bo jumped to my defense." Lizzy say smirking.

"Yeah I guess but I realized that didn't mean he loved me any less it just meant that he couldn't give me everything I wanted." Lizzy says.

"I really hope your right Daisy. Part of me always resented the fact my father didn't fight harder for me but then one day it hit me the kind of power my mom had over him." Lizzy sighs.

"Austin's probably angry with me for being away so long." Lizzy says.

"I just can't believe how much has changed here since I've been locked up." Lizzy says.

Back to the original topic. That new song by Darius Rucker called Alright. I don't know why but it fits. They didn't have much but as long as they had family and someone to love it makes it all better.

"Hey I know it hurts but...slowly you'll get over it and I'm back now so I'll help as much as I can." Lizzy says.

"It's alright." Bo answers. Then they all settle down to a dinner that has Lizzy stunned. "Bo Duke, my god where did you learn to cook? This is some of the best food I have ever tasted." Lizzy says. Bo grins and looks at Austin. "Sarah-Beth and a little from Daisy. When you left I was resigned to eating junk food and take out until Austin ran out of baby food. Sarah-Beth helped me out for a while until I was good enough to go about it on my own. And that is all she did for me." Bo says making sure everyone understands he's still devoted to Lizzy. She grins and nods. After being informed of most of the past four years everyone retires to the living room where the kids go to play and Lizzy is filled in on the more sensitive stuff.

"Ok, as long as you say you're sorry and make up everything will work out." Austin says as the three go back down and to dinner.

"Alright...Daisy can we please try to get through one dinner? They're kids and I know Bo may have seemed a little harsh on Austin but it's his choice he's had to deal with raising Austin alone for four years and it wasn't easy. Austin understood why he had to stand in the corner." Lizzy says. "I don't blame Daddy Aunt Daisy. Please don't blame him either. Sometimes I'm not easy to deal with and Daddy gets angry. It could be worse though. Daddy could hit me but he doesn't and I know he loves me." Austin says. "Daddy says dinner's almost done."

"You? How could I? God knows if I hadn't screwed up in the first place none of this ever would have happened." Lizzy answers sighing.

"I don't like you doubting my parenting techniques Daisy. I get enough flack from raising him alone and not moving on. I don't need my cousin in on it too." Bo snaps turning from the stove to glare a Daisy. "Stop it, both of you." Lizzy snaps. "Daisy you may have gone a little too far with that remark and Bo maybe punishing him wasn't completely right. Besides we all know it's my fault anyway." Lizzy looks around the kitchen then bolts upstairs.

"It still wasn't right and he knows it." Bo sighs. "I could have done what Uncle Jesse did to us and whipped his hide but I figured this is gentler."

"Austin." Bo snapped. "Mommy." Austin said running to the protection he thought his mother would offer. "Austin you know what I told you." Bo says. "Mommy?" "Listen to your father sweetheart." Lizzy says softly. Austin nods and walks over to Carmen. "I'm sorry I said what I did Carmen." Austin says then walks to the corner and presses his forehead against the wall. "Six minutes." Bo says. Lizzy looks stunned when Austin just nods.

"She is so sweet. She's what four weeks old?" Lizzy asks. "It's been about that long since I last talked to Bo."

Lizzy sighs as she shuts the door and ushers them into the kitchen. "He has been nothing but a my little shadow since we left the court house and I don't know what to do about him." Lizzy says. "I've tried reassuring him that I'm not going anywhere but nothing I say seems to work."

Lizzy ruffled his hair and slowly pulled open the door relieved to only find Daisy, Cameron, Jacob, and Enos on the other side. "Hey come on in. Bo swears it's almost ready. Though I'm not to sure I want to eat it? Lord knows that boy can't...er couldn't cook when I left here. It smells good enough and Austin says he likes Bo's cooking." Lizzy says.

"Absolutely perfect. I would love to catch up on everything I've missed." Lizzy agrees. And so for dinner Bo cooked and Lizzy talked with Austin. Although he didn't directly say it Lizzy knew he was scared she would leave and not come back again. Lizzy tried to assure him it wouldn't happen.

"Good. Bo can we just go home?" Lizzy asks adjusting Austin on her back a bit.

"If I had any idea...god I'm so sorry." Lizzy says. Then Lizzy felt another hand on her back.

"I swear on Austin's life I will never touch or run a drop of shine again." Lizzy says pulling Austin off and crouching. Austin jumped on Lizzy's back and wrapped his legs around her waist and his arms draped over her shoulders. "I'm not going anywhere."

"God Daisy...If I were you I'd be so angry at me." Lizzy says hugging Daisy until she feels two little arms wrap around her legs.

"Seven months Lizzy you can do it." Lizzy mutters then lets out a sharp whistle that makes all three children stop in their tracks. "Stop giving your mother a hard time." Lizzy says to Carmen and Jacob. "Daisy god I can't apologize enough for everything I did to you."

"I will get you one day and then you'll be right where you belong." Huntley says. "Where? In the arms of my husband and holding my baby boy?" Lizzy asks. "In jail." Huntley spits. "Scram before I do commit a felony." Lizzy growls. Huntley leaves and Lizzy checks with a deputy in Atlanta to see who her probation officer in Hazzard is.
